strip cards

[ALR-bishop]

Although I think they are ugly, I have pursued a set of them. It is the only pre war set I have worked on and only because it was related to my goal of a complete run of Topps and Fleer baseball cards. I don't collect graded cards either, they just came that way

Thanks for sharing. I never knew that there was a Fleer connection. How is the setting going?

Alex---very slow. Assuming there are a corresponding number of the 515s with Fleer advertising as are in the 'regular" set, I am only about 1/3 done. They do not pop up very often

ALR, that Ruth Fleer back card is awesome. They are very hard to come bye, I did see another Ruth/Fleer on ebay last week I think.

Like Dan was saying these can get pretty expensive and as long as they have not been trimmed under their standard size they can a numerical grade. This is my latest one.

I've always thought strip cards were kinda neat, especially if you're a collector on a budget and/or wanting to inexpensively pick up some HOFs. I put together the W512 baseball series set (full disclosure - for sale in BST) because it contains some of the best to ever play the game and there are variations, which made collecting the set that much more fun. No, they're not considered beautiful cards and would never be ranked next to T206s, '52 Topps or whatever card series you consider to be attractive. But still neat in my opinion.
